Research field: Biological Sciences - Agricultural Science
My dissertation research focuses on understanding the microbial mechanisms behind compost-mediated disease suppression. I work with the model seed infecting oomycete pathogen, Pythium aphanidermatum, and a disease suppressive vermicomposted dairy manure.
